QUESTIONS

Before you convert

Is the file uploaded?

Compatible digital files are processed locally. If cloud OCR is needed, the page explains the hosted path and asks for consent before upload.

Do I need an account?

No account is required to see a preview. Sign-in is requested only when you unlock or manage a paid result.

Will Markdown reproduce the original layout?

No. Markdown represents text structure. Review visual layouts, drawings, charts, equations, and embedded objects before production use.
